New Mexico Now Abortion Hub

Women are traveling in droves to the state of New Mexico for their abortions, in light of the Supreme Court’s historic ruling on Roe v. Wade. Newsy reports that the Land of Enchantment is the lone state bordering Texas with no-holds-barred abortion and is now bracing for a Texas-sized demand curve for the procedure. A travesty, indeed!

Wade ban on abortions, replacing it with legislation lacking major restrictions, such as waiting periods, mandated parental involvement or limitations on publicly funded abortions, found in other states. Here’s Newsy’s John Mone with more.
